Return to School Information

We are glad to finally welcome students back to Winstanley.  To help everyone settle back into the new routine we will be having a phased return as follows:

Year 7 – Wednesday, 26th August

Year 7 and 11 – Thursday, 27th August

Year 7, 11 and 9 – Friday, 28th August

All students – Tuesday, 2nd September

Year 7 will begin school at 8.30am and come into school via the main gate. The finish time will be 2.55pm and students will leave via the main gate.

Year 8 will begin school at 8.40am and come into school via the main gate. The finish time will be 3.00pm and students will leave via the main gate.

Year 9 will begin school at 8.30am and use the side entrance at the bottom of the footpath between Winstanley and Kingsway Primary school. The finish time will be 2.55pm and students will exit via the side entrance where they came in.  Year 10 will also use this entrance and exit but will start school at 8.40am and finish at 3.00pm.

Year 11 will use the entrance further along Kingsway North which leads onto the field, they will start school at 8.30am and leave at 3.05pm.

Students must be on time for school to allow for adequate social distancing between year groups.

Each Year group has a zone within the school which they will use as their base and do the majority of their lessons their. Within each area there are toilets which will only be used by students in that year group.  The map below shows where the areas are, we have colour coordinated the map to the existing colour schemes in these areas to make this new system easier to understand.

Year group bases

○ Yr 11 = Maths,
○ Yr 10 = Science + CAD,
○ Yr 9 = English +D1,
○ Yr 8 = Humanities + Community Lounge
○ Yr 7 = C5-8
Practical subjects will take place in specialist areas wherever necessary / possible – students will need to line up outside the room / area and be invited in by teacher once the area is cleared from the previous lesson.
Parents and visitors must not come into the school buildings unless they have pre-booked an appointment with a member of staff. If you do need to come onto site for a meeting please wear a face-covering and use the hand sanitizer provided.
